According to reporting from WPBN/WGTU, Gergosky, 52, was charged with attempted murder, assault with intent to murder, torture, assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder or by strangulation, unlawful imprisonment, tampering with evidence, assault with a dangerous weapon, and assaulting, resisting or obstructing a police officer.
A judge set bond at $300,000 and imposed additional restrictions during Gergosky’s arraignment.
The sheriff’s office said it was aware of community concerns about the possibility that Gergosky could post bond and be released.
In a public statement, the agency said it would continue working the case and would investigate any further incidents connected to Gergosky’s release to the fullest extent.
Authorities said the investigation is ongoing and that no additional information would be released at this time.
